After the uproar, Paul encouraged the disciples and left for Macedonia and Greece. When some plotted against him, he went back through Macedonia. Several companions traveled with him.

At Troas, on the first day of the week, the disciples gathered to break bread. Paul talked until midnight. A young man named Eutychus sat in the window, fell into deep sleep, and fell from the third floor. He was taken up dead. Paul went down, embraced him, and said, "Don't be troubled, for his life is in him." They brought the boy in alive and were greatly comforted.

At Miletus Paul sent for the elders of the church at Ephesus. He reminded them that he had served the Lord with all humility. He had taught them publicly and from house to house. He said he did not hold his life dear, so that he might finish his race with joy and testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

He told them to shepherd the church of God, because harmful teachers would come. He had coveted no one's silver or gold. He reminded them of the Lord Jesus' words that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Then he knelt down and prayed with them all. They wept, embraced him, and went with him to the ship.

After the uproar ceased, Paul encouraged the disciples and departed for Macedonia, then Greece, where he stayed three months. When a plot was formed against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. Sopater, Aristarchus, Secundus, Gaius, Timothy, Tychicus, and Trophimus accompanied him.

At Troas, on the first day of the week, the disciples gathered to break bread, and Paul talked until midnight. There were many lights in the upper room. Eutychus, sitting in the window and weighed down with deep sleep, fell from the third floor and was taken up dead. Paul went down, embraced him, and said his life was in him. Paul broke bread, talked until daybreak, and departed. They brought the boy in alive and were greatly comforted.

Hurrying to reach Jerusalem by Pentecost, Paul called the Ephesian elders to Miletus. He reminded them how he had served the Lord with humility, tears, and trials, holding back nothing profitable. He had testified to Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus. Bound by the Spirit, he was going to Jerusalem, not knowing what would happen, except that the Holy Spirit testified that bonds and afflictions awaited him. Yet he did not hold his life dear, that he might finish his race with joy and the ministry received from the Lord Jesus.

He charged them to take heed to themselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit made them overseers, to shepherd the assembly which God purchased with his own blood. After his departure, vicious wolves would enter, and some from among themselves would draw disciples away; so they must watch. He commended them to God and to the word of his grace. He had coveted no one's silver, gold, or clothing; his own hands had served his needs. He reminded them of the Lord Jesus' words, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Then he knelt and prayed with them all, and they wept, sorrowing most that they would see his face no more.
